M-tone headstock. I did a little bocote carving today. It’s cool wood and makes a great neck but takes the edge off a chisel really fast. #handmadeguitars #mtoneguitars #neckcarving #bocote #headstock #coolguitars (at Portland, Oregon)

Every once in a while I remember that my carving table is height adjustable. Perfect for carving the sides of a guitar!
